Each way payout wrong?

so i threw a cheeky each way bet on some nags yesterday, expecting the usual payout math. except the place return was off by a chunk, and i checked the fractions - no funny business there. nothing weird with the terms listed, all above board as far as i could see. started thinking maybe there’s a new rule or sneaky update to the paytable i missed, or maybe the dead heat rules? but i don’t see anything in the race result to explain it.

i screenshot everything, because after that time they tried to slip a void bet past me during a tennis match, i don't trust their little "settlement" button anymore. have you all had this kind of mismatch lately? wondering if it's a glitch or they're just counting on us not double checking. my mate says to let it go but c’mon, it’s the principle.

I’ve misread dead heat place math before. Roulette’s simpler for my tiny stagehand brain. Books still botch settlements.

Yep. Had one shaved 18p after a dead heat. Still annoys me tbh 😒

The bit that gets me is they bank on nobody checking the crumbs. I missed one myself last year, complained, then suddenly my limits got cute. Blackjack spoiled me because the payout is right there on the felt, horse books feel slippery as hell?!
